      Happy birthday Nick!

      Morning all
      9.something km this morning, but Garmin Connect is experiencing issues so it can't tell me.
      Overcast but dry, and the ground has really dried up, which makes digging difficult, but walking a bit easier.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Morning.

        Monday.

        Dry, whilst picking with rain.

        Grey.

        Wanly sunny.

        Chilly in here at 14 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen & leanto.

        1026 mBar, 30.29776 in Hg, 769.56 Torr, 14.8808 psi, ( down from 1026 and a bit last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

        Meanwhile on the 20th of September 2019 the lady running the Neighbourhood Watch in NF's old location found that her gate had been nicked whilst she was away on holiday, whereas NF had grave difficulties in selecting some lamb chops when forced to interact with a butcher like some kind of animal (though presumably not the sort of animal that meets the poleaxe).

        Shopping trip to Morrisons, B&M, and The Range done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

        It rained half heartedly for much of it, not enough to put the brolly up though.

        Shopping trip to Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put away.

        Lunch: scrambled egg etc.

        Entertainment: TWAO. Some thing about a chap attempting to feed himself on what he can grow. Over a year.

        Anyone else remember the Mediaeval Village thing from the 70s? Well this one's got a tractor. And a cow. And two pigs. <- bet they're worried. And some hens.

        Veronica Mars S1 E15 "Ruskie business". The Russian "bride" one.

        Tea: Mr Brains faggots, with peas & such. etc. Nice enough.

        The Mentalist S2 E18 "Aingavite Baa" You wot? Red Water, apparently, in Shoshone.

        NCIS S20 E13 "Evil Eye". A ride around for a famous actress. Shades of the Bob De Niro alike in Hill Street Blues S3 E3 "Heat Rash" He doesn't make it out of E4. She survives. . Unlike Jon Gennaro.

        Bits of Terminator Dark Fate until I get fed up with it or find something else.

        Happy Birthday Nick, since there's still some of it left.

        When the fun stops, STOP.

          Morning denizens

          The Universe, or this small corner of it, has chosen to mark the occasion of my birthday with a gloomy, grey, rainy day. I'm now revising such plans as involved going out to focus on more domestic activities instead. Might bake myself a cake

          Along with the rain come cooler temperatures, being a mere 5°C and not expected to get past 8°, while the barometers are down a little but still relatively high at 1017/1025mB

                  Lunch: ham toasties

                  Still raining out, though it seems to be petering out. Not sure whether I'll bother going out at all even if it stops

                    Birthday tea has been the same as last year: a Turkish mixed grill from the restaurant across town. Very nice

                    I watched the Auto Shenanigans video, which covered quite a few places I've never been - for some reason, I haven't been to the west of the county very much

                      Congrats Nick another year wiser!
                      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
